Harlan Cleveland

"Former supervisor of the Marshall Plan for European recovery died on 30 May 2008.

"He was a journalist, an assistant secretary of state, a NATO ambassador, a university president and the author of a dozen books on leadership and public policy, and he was interested in almost everything - in part because he believed that everything is interrelated.

"Many of his ideas are of importance for the Global Marshall Plan Initiative, especially his thoughts on Global Governance."

He served as Lyndon Johnson's U.S. Ambassador to NATO, 1965–1969, and earlier as U.S. Assistant Secretary of State for International Organization Affairs, 1961-1965. He was President of the University of Hawaii 1969–1974, and the World Academy of Art and Science in the 1990s and founding dean of the University of Minnesota's Hubert H. Humphrey Institute of Public Affairs.
